Kononnya 60+ people supposed to turn up. Only 23 came, 2 opted out after the initial briefing so became 21. 3 people did not pass the aptitude/practical test so in the end only 18 went for the interview. Aptitude test 100q was ok to me though it had been 10 months since i've done add maths and a few of the questions is from add maths laugh.gif was the first one to finish the paper in about 40 minutes then came out to the practical test. Practical test the first half i was taking my sweet time, seperating the nuts and the bolts, tightening all nicely, then when the instructor said 5 minutes left then i was like 'oh shit' already but managed to fit in 74, with one loose so its 73 sad.gif

oh well, in the end managed to pass both and went on with the interview. Interview went on smoothly. Now just waiting for their reply only which should be a good one laugh.gif

and jazzy, you told En. Adnan about me ar? Suddenly only he started asking who browses lyn forums and who is Nightstalker1993 LOL laugh.gif

not good enuf
i really wish that DCA adopt cap741 officially [maybe rename it] instead of waiting for ATO to recommend DCA to do it
i think we both know that eventually cap741 is going to be it anyway
arghhhhhhh why cant they just do it
hmmm lets go takeover DCA


Added on October 24, 2011, 12:14 pm

i only know of 2 ato
1. metc/dilog
2. mas

both dun have cap741 in their manual

no, not for them to write to me
from dca, in is sufficient
from ato, part of offer letter/syllabus/manual is sufficient
i just need it to be in black n white
*
After reading Jazzy's post over and over again, didn't he mentioned that DCA IS using the CAP741 format for the work schedules?

So i'm really confused with the bolded part sweat.gif

And i thought DCA(Department of Civil Aviation) is more powerful than an ATO(Approved Training Organisation), so why wait for an ATO to recommend DCA something? rclxub.gif

do correct me if i'm wrong. Still fresh in the aviation industry laugh.gif

Hi there Nightstalker, you have been bz?
Although not in 'black n white' the CAP741 has been the reference standard although candidates can use some other format as long as the minimum essential information are provide as spelled out in the AN.
CAP741 is of course by CAA and we're no longer governed by the CAA. As such, DCA wants us to decide and propose a format and standard to be used. The logic is, we are the one that is going to use it and we know what is best for us. As such the DCA is willing to listen to us rather than dictating whats best to us for DCA. Comprende?
This approach does not augur well with some people like moat who did not know what has transpired.
We have many talks/discussion with DCA and DCA is giving us the chance to propose improvements. Nonetheless this will take time and effort and the industry, in this case all the ATO, need to sit down and consolidate our needs and requirements. The DCA is working on this and you'll see this happening soon.
Therefore the CAP741 would be replaced by something that is uniquely ours.
The ball is in our court now.

Yeah kinda busy recently since my course started. Not as much free time as before already sad.gif

So its something like DCA = Government and ATO = Rakyat? laugh.gif

errr i think u mean licensed aircraft engineer


Added on October 27, 2011, 9:02 am

dca = department of civil aviation = macam jpj ler

ato = authorised training organisation = training school/university


Added on October 27, 2011, 9:06 am

bridging JT?
that means u already have some sort of qualification but lack experience right?
havent seen the papers but all basic stuff
*
I know about what they do, my statement was referring to the fact that DCA listens to the ATO's suggestions and ammend accordingly, which is similar to government and rakyat laugh.gif

btw, have to prepare a 15-20 minutes long presentation on the A380 tomorrow sweat.gif

Hmmm.... Have to build a model aircraft and prepare a presentation on the materials and construction of the aircraft chosen using Powerpoint for the final English Assessment. A380 a good choice? hmm.gif

Well actually we only need to present about the Construction and Materials. I'm afraid that if we choose something too simple we won't have much things to talk about in the first place sweat.gif

Now maybe thinking of changing to DC10/MD11 or maybe the Cessna Citation since my groupmate mentioned that the A380 is kinda common in previous presentations hmm.gif

You would? I thought you're currently outstation? laugh.gif

And what aircraft do you suggest, preferably something with a Turbofan engine as a propeller is pretty hard to fabricate since we require to build a model of the aircraft chosen.

Thanks! icon_rolleyes.gif

It's Aviation Australia! laugh.gif
Can also be (mis)interpret as AirAsia..
Hmm the A380, did you picked that as it is easy to make the model? This is interesting! Maybe you should post some pix later when you have finished.. wink.gif

Yeah found out shortly after that laugh.gif

I think my group would be going on with the A380. Reason because its (somewhat) easy to build, and information about that plane is LOADED online laugh.gif

Yeah sure will post pics. Hopefully it'll turn out good laugh.gif

Not really easy way. Alot of preparations still have to be done especially in making the plane and the presentation itself. Alot of facts means even more work in arranging things rclxub.gif

Oh crap, forgot he actually lurks here ohmy.gif

Guys, from what i understand from the 1st page, To be a LAME. you need to eigher have a BCAR or EASA .

i have a few question, Whats a LWTR? What course do i take so i can gradguate as a LAME, and start working for a airline, and where can i study?

About LAME, is it too late for me to start? im turning 21 next year, and im finishing up my Business diploma (July 2012) Took business last time because i didnt know what to do, so business seems to be the "safe" idea. I didnt do that well in spm also. I got 4 credits, and am not from a sicence class.

Guys, can u guide me through this career
*
There are many places where you can study actually but if not mistaken, Msia only have 5 ATOs and the top 2 would be dilog and APR, though I heard Dilog won't be opening any intakes anymore (not sure) hmm.gif

And I don't think you're too late, my class got a guy who finished his Diploma in Mass Communication 3 days before the interview while another one went 2 years through his degree in power systems engineering and quit halfway to join. Instead, I was the only unique one who did not came from another education institution before i entered APR sweat.gif

To get a LWTR(License Without Type Rating), you have to go through a 4-year course. After that, you get an employer and they will send you to be type rated for a specific aircraft that you will be working on. Time length for the type rating course ranges from as short as 2 weeks to as long as 6 months. So yeah, from now until you're 'officially' an LAE is around 4~5 years provided you did not fail any of your exams laugh.gif

What I've learnt from projects done in groups, group members are useless and if you want the project to be done, you have to do everything yourself. Literally doh.gif
